The secret garden coloring books

By Laman Ismayilova Talented Azerbaijanis live and work in many countries of the world, glorifying their native land. One of them is 64-year-old Kamil Kamal, who since 1983 lives and works in Minsk, weaving national threads into the public art fabric of Belarus. Here he is called a genius, maestro of painting, sculpture, stained glass, painting and graphics. Kamil Kamal has long been a part of Belarusian culture, one of its bright colors, and its real pride. More than thirty of his monumental works adorn the cities of Belarus. His paintings have become design elements of stories written by famous writers. His exhibition has been presented with great success in many countries, as well as the building of the European Parliament in Brussels. He is the author of several books, repeatedly awarded national and international prizes for creative achievements in the field of fine and monumental and decorative art.

He may have had a strategy, but Rudy Giuliani hatched it almost entirely in secret. The White House counsel had no idea. Neither did the White House chief of staff, nor the White House press secretary, nor the new White House lawyer overseeing its handling of the Russia investigation. They watched, agog, as Giuliani, the president's recently-installed personal attorney, freestyled on live television Wednesday night about the president's legal troubles and unveiled an explosive new fact: that Donald Trump reimbursed his longtime personal attorney, Michael Cohen, the $130,000 paid to adult-films actress Stormy Daniels to ensure her silence about an alleged sexual encounter with Trump. Giuliani's attempt to defuse a ticking time bomb exposed Trump's failure to divulge the full story about the Daniels hush money by contradictory public statements from him and White House spokesman. One month ago, Trump told reporters he did not know about the $130,000 payment to Daniels, whose real name is … [Read more...] about ‘I was going to get this over with’: Inside Giuliani’s explosive Stormy Daniels revelation

Published June 12, 2015 Wow, can you believe our bar guide is five years old already? That means, in just 15 years, it will be old enough to go drinking downtown. And it’ll definitely know all the best places when it does. Over the last few weeks, we sent our team (who previously could have been described as “fresh-faced and intrepid”, but are now more “grey-faced and shaking”) to grab a beer, people-watch, and take in the atmosphere of Reykjavík’s many downtown bars, and report back accordingly. In total, we went to just shy of fifty bars. This included a fresh look at all of the places we covered last year. And while that might seem like retreading old ground, downtown Reykjavík is actually a bar merry-go-round on which places are constantly opening, closing, changing spaces, changing floors, changing names, taking back a previous name, or even reviving a long-dead one. Bars here also regularly change hands, and when they … [Read more...] about THE GRAPEVINE’S BIG-ASS BAR GUIDE 2015!

Philosopher Byung-Chul Hal is one of the most recognized critics of the problems caused by the hyper-consumerist and neoliberal society after the fall of the Berlin Wall. In books such as Fatigue Society, Psychopolitics and The Expulsion of Difference (published in Spain by Herder), the South Korean-born German author takes aim at this society and its effects on the individual. “In Orwell’s 1984 society knew it was being dominated. Today we are not even aware of the domination,” he said on Tuesday at the Center of Contemporary Culture in Barcelona (CCCB). There, speaking about the eradication of difference, the Berlin University of the Arts professor gave his vision of the world today, a world where people exploit themselves, fear otherness and live in “the desert, hell or sameness.” Time worked is time lost, it is not time for ourselves Authenticity. According to Han, people sell themselves as authentic “because everyone wants to be … [Read more...] about “In Orwell’s ‘1984’ society knew it was being dominated. Not today”
